Description
- A large number of people who study poetry think it is all about finding a secret message somewhere in the words. For this reason, many people take down copious notes, buy study guides or surf the internet for various interpretations.
- All of these can be important but they are not essential.
- The study of poetry can be enjoyable if you take the following into account:
- What does the poem mean to YOU?
- What emotions or thoughts are stirred in YOU?
- When one reads a study guide or listens to a teacher “explaining” a poem, that is simply the views of a particular person. You should strive to form your own opinion. It does not matter whether we are on the right path of interpretation or not. What matters is the PROCESS involved.
- Reading a poem many times over.
- Clarifying the meaning of the words
- Identifying poetic devices
- Looking for levels of meaning
